Just for Parents

Purpose

This page is designed to assist parents — who are entrusted with the primary responsibility for the spiritual development of their children — by providing a collection of resources that may be put to use outside the walls of Grace Church.

Why a Parents’ Page?

Over the course of a year, the local church will have (at most) 40-50 hours of quality investment into the life of a child. In that same year, however, parents have over 3,000 hours of quality time to invest into their child.

The facts show us that when children were asked who most influenced their faith, 80% of children said Mom and 61% said Dad — compared to only 25% who named a church leader. This is why we want to partner with you, parents, by giving you resources and tools to succeed in the position God has designed for you.

Resources

Use this page as a resource to partner with the church by bringing home what is being taught in our Children’s Ministry. The resources below are divided into three categories: curriculum from Sunday mornings, curriculum from Wednesday nights, and other helpful tools.

Sunday Morning Parents’ Pages

Developmental Guides

These guides have been developed to help you understand the physical, mental, and spiritual growth of your child. These ideas may help you engage your child in each stage of development.

Books and Media Resources

Here is a list of books and other resources that have challenged us as a staff in our faith and ministry work. We feel that these resources can equip you to grow yourself and your children, although Grace Church may not endorse or believe the entirety of what they present.
